I found these pics at megamodz (uk) and fell for these wheels coz they are sexy as. Apparently they are 19" rays centre lock alloys. After searching all over the net, i couldn't find anything on them, but the main problem is obviously they are centre lock wheels.
These small pics are all i have;

I was wondering...
-Do they come in 4 lug?
-Do they come in 16"
-Are there are any other wheels with similar looks?
(ie: a six spoke version of spoonSW388/rota slips)

Thanks in advance.

there not a rays wheel that i've ever seen before, id say that they are a custom made racing wheel, but check out http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html and see if anything takes your fancy, the gramlights 57s or volk te37 look a little similar.
pm JDM imports and see if they can find some for you.

Sent him the pm, guess ill wait and see...
Meanwhile i've been searching like crazy but absolutely nothing on them :thumbdwn:. The only thing close i can find are te37 and old rota n1rs.
I must have those wheels though, i'm obsessed with them!
What can i do to get them in 4 lug 16" and what's this about custom wheels?

IMO they're too big, especially for a civic. Ive never heard of or seen them though.
Have you tried asking and/or searching where u found the pic??

Yea, def too big. I'd say they're perfect if they were in 16" 4 lug. Still waiting on a reply from them, but until then i can only hope lol.

Cant confirm if they fall under the Rays umbrella.
Have never seen them before.
Perhaps this is the only option........
We have located some SpoonSW388's and Regamasters in the past that may be suitable.

May be looking into spoon later on, but will try to find out more abt these and another mystery wheel first.
Thanks for that.

Hey peeps, don't worry abt it. After doing a chop, i realised the look just wouldn't work. Funny how much a chop can do.

do you want the rims or the rims with center lugs??? cause ray's do make them but only on request!!!! i ask for my car already......full racing wheels made from magnesim about 4G and yet you have to moddify your rotors as well.....

I see, thanks. Thats why i couldn't get info on them coz they are custom. I just liked the look of the rims but didn't really want a one lug conversion. I've changed my mind though, looking into other rims now.

lol.. your exactly like me.. look at too many rims and cant decide and because u are looking at so many nice ones your always changing your mind on which ones you wanna get.

good luck with the wheel hunting.. i think what im gonna do is get a set of 2nd hand ones from bt/jdm imports when i got the money (around $2k).. either that or some cheap slips.

are you gonna do the ek dash conversion???
you should just go the integra dash conversion, much more info out there on it, either that or be one of the few to do the EK conversion

Hahaha, i thought u were gonna get those mugen ones? Yea, i will prob get slips too, but am looking into secondhand ones myself aswell!
I'm def gonna do the dash swap, eventually anyway, but am still considering the teg dash because i can't find much info on the ek swap as yet. Oh well, no rush hehe...

i see.. if ive done my dash swap by the time you do yours, ill let u know how i go with it all and some of the ups and downs. i do still wanna get the mugen rnrs.. if a set pop up for sale locally and i have the money ill snatch them up in an instant.

gl with it all champ
